Do I get it right (yes, I know, many of my posts begin like this, but it's my habit to always get a second opinion) that all early beach scenarios have considerably changed by the addition of landing craft? Units on the ocean baseline that could move only one hex (onto another ocean hex) can now move two hexes directly onto the shore and disembark there. This allows the assaulting player's reserves to get into the battle more quickly.

Moving onto the shore is nice to get your men ashore quickly. HOWEVER, (before you get too excited) just remember they may not battle on the turn they disembark from the landing craft (sixth bullet point). So a mixed blessing.
